READ, JR., ARCHITECT.
toned, 1t nevertheless is true that the
pre- rperty which is specially referred to In
the immediate vicinity of Georgetown can
be purchased for the same or less prices
than other suburbs In the same direction or
much farther away, which, for the present,
have no good communication, even by the
extension Of our streets, and which are
only accessible to the city to those resi-
dents who are able to keep their own teams.
Recent sales have occurred on Thirty-flfth
street at from seventy.Ave cents to dollar
square foot, and can see no reason why
land in the healthful elevations OF the ad-
joining streets in Burleith and other sub
divisions, which are now held at from
twenty to thirty cents, should not, In the
course Of the present season, double or
treble their present prices.
Too much cannot be said Of the health
fulness of this portion Of our city. A walk
TO the Heights near where most OF the avail
able land lies is all that is necessary to con-
vince the most skeptical OF the hygiene ad-
vantages to be derived from q residence In
this beautiful place. Malaria and kindred
diseases are unknown here. The prevail.
ing air is from the west, south and north,
and the breezes come laden with invIgor-
ating and health giving ozone, contrasting
greatly with the miasmatic odors that infest
the lower portions Of the city.
The class Of people now living In this
nelghborhood attest sufficiently as to the
future social status of this place. Some Of
our Oldest and most aristocratic families
live on the Heights, and indeed the entire
town boasts social standing very consid-
erably above the average, the rowdy ele-
ment being comparatively unknown. West
Washington cannot be called suburban. 1t
is part Of our city, separated only by a
small stream Of water, which, II the pres
ent plans are carried out, will soon
be transferred Into IN immense sewer
to relieve the northwestern part Of the city
OF Its vast amount Of refuse, which bids
fair, unless provided with better facilities
OF exit, TO cause that part Of the city to be
very unhealthy. When this is done Rock
Creek valley will doubtless be transformed

There is every prospect now Of
stock Yards being established at paI-
las. The movement, which commenced
only few days ago, is nearing its con-
clusion, and it is said that a charter
will be applied for in few days. Such
an sinstitution in Dallas cannot be
over-estimated. Dallas as n railroad
center, has such superior advantages
that such yards can hut be very sue
cessful pccuniarily to those who in-
vest their money. TO Dallas it will
be factor of considerable wealth. a
hundred thousand cattle handled at
these yards during the coming year
will necessarily bring a large business
other than to the cattlemeu.

New YORK, Feb. 15.-Thc Harlem

CASHING A CHECK.
Sleek, Slim, Gentlemanly Bra
Zicr.

The trial of Mr. d. Brazier is in pro-
gress in the district court to-day. Bra
zicr is the man that Sheriff Lewis ar
rested at FL Paso, and aboard the train
that was robbed on the 22d ult., on his
return to Dallas with his prisoner.
The evidence of the state shows that
one lsrcal Crump, is from Tennessee,
and was on n train coming to Dallas,
thence to Sunset to locate. BIazier
and confederate spotted Crump as
having money and while on the train
made Crumps acquaintance, telling
him that he Hrazier) was merchant
in Sunset Some time after the acquain-
tance began, the confederate made his
appearance, informing him that his
goods, which were on their way by
freight. could go no further until the
freight was prepaid. Brazier was as
tonishcd and greatly worried over the
matter, and informed Crump he had
no money with him 4; but he pro-
duccd a check on the City National
Bank of Fort Worth, signed by Lacey
& Baker and endorsed by - Haley,
for 1920 so, which he generously of
fcrcd TO turn over to Mr.. Crump for
$34O cash. The bait took, the evidence
seems to show, and Crump advanced
the money and took the check. Upon
the presentation of the check at the
bank he was informed that ii was
n. worthless. This occurred in the
fall of 1884. In October of that year
Brazier was arrested here by Officer
Ahearn. lie gave bond, but subse-
qucntly jumped the same.

BAPTIST CHURCH SOCIAL.
Singing, Reading. Literary and
4 Good Time Generally.

The entertainment given at the Bap-
list parsonage last night was attended
very largely, one hundred and fifty
people paying at the door, besides
numbers of others who were present
The programme was brief but one
of the most brilliant yet rendered at
these popular entertainments. 1t was
as follows:
Vocal Solo Mrs. Il. {. Ayres. Mrs.
Ayrcs was encored, and sang "Coochy,
Coochy, Little Baby" with fine effect,
and greatly TO the amusement Of the
crowd.
Reading Mrs. Roszcll. Wherever
Mrs. Ros2ell is once heard, she immedi-
atcly becomes a favoritc. She was
greeted with applause, and again re-
called as the programme progressed.
Her readings are simply superb.
Vocal Solo-Mrs. Clarence Gano.
Mrs. Gano has recently come to
Dallas, and her vocal powers were not
known by many until last evening.
She has n splendid voice, thoroughly
cultivated, and it is putting it mildly
to say that she captivatcd the audi
encc. She wfs encored and gave
another sweet song, to the delight of
the crowd.
Piano and Violin Duett- Mr.. j. f..
Thacker and Col. A. c. Ardrey.
With this the musical and literary
programme ended, and the amusement
eliminated in the fishing for the bas-
kets. Each party wishing to fish, with
regular hook and line, paid a quarter
for the privilege, and every one who
fished caught basket containing the
name of lady and lunch for two.
Some mischievous hand slipped into
each basket a comic valentine; and
then the fun created by the matches
and the mismatches that were
made, and by the valentines, was i'm
mensc. The ladies realized a neat
sum and all went away happy.

In the winter of 1880, while scout
ing over in the Powder river country,
1 came upon the skeletons of two very
large elk, lying backs down, with their
horns inextricably fastened together
ed in deadly combat, had fallen with
out ever being able to get up again.
and no doubt died the horrible death
of starvation. A hunter told the
writer that he had once witnessed
terrific fight between two giant blue
elk over in the Big Horn mountains.
While passing through the woods he
heard the most awful believing and
bawling imaginable, and carefully ap-
preaching the scene of conflict Ian
open space in the forest perhaps two
acres in extent) he beheld the remark
able spectacle of two males rushing
and tearing about, heads down, with
horns 50 locked that he was afterward
unable TO separate them. These had
become hooked together early in the
light, and the two fairly tore up the
forest in their struggle for the mastery.
The shrubs and bushes were trampled
down, small saplings uprooted or bent
over, and occasionally they would
crush up against some big tree that
would have smashed the ribs OF any
ordinary animal. After while one OF
them went to grass and dragged the
other down with him. Neither was
able to rise afterward, but on the
ground they continued TO struggle
with force that surely ought to have
dragged their horns out by the roots
or torn their heads off. When the
combatants became quiet the hunter
carefully approached the pair and put
a knife in the heart of each, thus saw
ing them from miserable and horri-
BILE death, not to speak of the ton OF
fine meat he obtained from the car
casses.--NetO York Times.

FOR THE LADIES.


II takes $2s.OO0,00 to keep our
women in silk every year.
Clusters in colored combination lead
the fall style In ladies' rings.
# II Is predicted that ruby and emerald
viii be the favorite gems this season.
Chaste designs in hairpins decorated
with diamonds and rubies are very
popular.
A very handsome and fashionable
ring Is good size turquois surrounded
with fine brilliants.
A bracelet with a semi-circlc OF
diamonds or hyacinths imbedded in il
leads among the fashionables.
A band OF inverted coffee beans in
pink, yellow, and green gold and
platina constitutes one of the most
dainty bracelets to be found.
II adds TO the beauty of the decided
yellow or fancy colored diamonds
mounted in brilliants to have the
shank set with brilllants.
A choice style OF bracelet is COM
posed OF square checks of pink and
yellow gold and platina ornamented
with rubies and diamonds.
One OF the prettiest lace pins of the
season Is white enamel representing
tea rose, with diamond centre in old
gold setting.
In ladies' rings the latest fad is to
wear the four combination stones on
the same finger. They are set in four
rings, alternately ruby, sapphire,
diamond, and emerald.
In gentlemen's rings are seen ruby
set In two diamonds, sapphire set in
two diamonds, "A cat's-eye set in two
diamonds. A snake with diamond
and sapphire setting, and monogram
rings will be very much worn.

A few weeks ago the wife of Lieut..
Totten, of the Fourth Artillery, who
is stationed at West Point, and Lieut..
Darr, also on duty at West Point,
quilted that place together and under
circumstances that led TO the belief
that they have eloped. Mrs. Totten
took her child with her, and Lieut..
Darr sent his resignation TO the War
Department After careful investi-
cation the fact of the simultaneous
departure of Lieut.. barr and Mrs. Tot
ten was printed. Mrs. Totten's faith
CT, who is lawyer of New York City,
in published card denied the posi-
bility of scandal Of this kind, and
the authorities at West Point were
disposed TO lend color TO the denial.
But the elopement is now admitted.
A special dispatch from Washington
says that official information received
at the War Department makes IL GER
tain that Lieut.. barr and Mrs. Tot
ten cloped and are now on their way
TO South America. Darr's father, who
is very wealthy resident of Califor-
mia, has been investigating the mat
ter, and has learned that his son has
eloped. He urged the War Depart
ment not To accept the resignation,
on the ground that his son was GER
tainly insane when he thus disgraced
himself On the receipt OF this request
the War Department caused an inves-
tigation TO be made, and learned
enough TO satisfy II that the elope-
ment took place as reported. The re-
quest TO revoke Darr's resignation
was therefore refused.
